In Perceivant you can add contact methods to receive notifications. Contact methods allow you to select how you want to be notified when various events occur within a course. Notifications are applied to all courses in Perceivant. Perceivant supports notification through email, SMS text message, and Twitter.
Once you add contact methods, you can set your own Notification Preferences to select how often you want to be notified of course events.
Open User Settings
In Global Navigation, click the Account link [1], then click the Settings link [2].
Add Ways to Contact
In the Ways to Contact sidebar, your account displays the default email associated with your account, if any. However, if you want to add an additional email address, click the Add Email Address link [1].
If you want to add SMS text messages as a contact method, click the Add Contact Method link [2].
View Communication Warnings
Perceivant does not send notifications to communication channels that have bounced, which means the channel can no longer attempt to generate or send a notification. Bounces can occur from invalid addresses (caused by address typos, changed addresses, etc.) or blocked servers.
You will be notified in Perceivant when one of your communication channels has bounced. If you are on a Perceivant page outside of your User Settings, Perceivant displays a warning banner at the top of your browser window [1].
In User Settings, Perceivant may display the following icons to indicate a contact method's status:
- Merge [2]: allows you to merge accounts with another Perceivant account that uses the same email address.
- Check Mark [3]: notifies you of an unconfirmed email address.
- Warning [4]: indicates a bounced contact method. To correct the error, you can remove then re-add the contact method to your profile.
To delete a contact method, click the Delete icon [5].
Link to Web Services
The Web Services portion on your settings page is divided into two columns. Services you have already registered, such as through the Ways to Contact section of your settings, or through course Collaborations and assignments, appear in the left column under the Registered Services heading [1]. Other services that are available for registration appear in the right column under the Other Services heading [2].
